PREFACE. 


This  Manual  and  the  accompanying  Charts  are 
the  outcome  of  no  impulse,  but  of  experiments  con- 
tinuing for  many  years,  and  they  have  now  been 
issued  at  the  instance  of  teachers  and  others  who 
have  become  interested  in  the  experiments. 

The  first  principles  of  the  Science  of  Education 
have  always  found  warrant  lor  their  classification 
in  the  tripartite  character  of  the  child's  being  :  and 
If,  by  way  of  explanation,  the  body,  mind  and  soul 
may  be  looked  upon  as  organic,  it  is  easy  enough  to 
Identify  their  respective  functions  analogically,  as 
well  as  their  foods  and  curatives  or  correctives.    The 
function  of  the  body  is  to  do  physical  work  for  us  • 
of  the  mind,  to  think  for  us ;  and  of  the  soul,  to 
guide  and  control  our  conduct.    The  analogy  of  the 
respective  food-quickeners  for  these  is  no  less  strik- 
mg,--that  of  the  body  being  the  most  tangible  • 
knowledge  being  that  of  the  mind  ;  while  the  hun- 
gering and  thirsting  after  righteousness,  referred  to 
by  the  most  authoritative  of  all  ethical  teachers,  in- 
dicatesm  an  unmistakable  way,  the  character  of 
the  soul  8  food-Btrengthener.    Again,  when  the  body 
become,  unequal  to  do  it.  work,  that  is,  when  the 
health  becomes  abnormal,  the  counsel  of  the  phvsi- 
oian  IS  usually  sought  after  :  when  the  immatnred

*  PREFACE. 

mind  of  the  pupil  fails  to  accomplish  its  task  of 
thinking  aright,  the  teacher  is  usually  near  at  hand 
to  be  appealed  to,  for  the  necessary  mind  corrective  ; 
and  may  it  not  be  said,  with  striking  pertinency,' 
that,  when  the  soul  fails  in  its  function,  the  Ail- 
Father,  the  great  Soul-Streugthener,  is  to  be  im- 
portuned for  the  proper  soul-curative.    Analogies 
are  seldom  scientifically  sound,  and  yet,  correct  or 
not  correct,  the  above  simple  and  practical  pedagogic, 
«8  old  as  the  Science  of  Education  itself,  is  one  of 
the  best  working  and  most  readily  convincing  doc 
trines  that  the  training  of  the  child's  soul,  as  an 
active  entity,  is  a  practical  process  and  not  a  mere 
peradventure  in  school-work.    And  how  simple  this 
18  can  be  brought  to  the  mind  of  the  children  them- 
selves  by  making  a  diagram  representing  these  three 
divisions  of  their  own  being,  taken  organically,  and 
compared  by  analogy  with  other  organiami,  their 
fnnctioni,  foods,  and  correctives. 

The  Charts  are  drawn  up  in  terms  of  snch  a  ped- 
agogic. The  conduct  of  the  average  soul  is  to  be 
seen  recorded  in  the  yirtues  and  vices  o|  humanity, 
and  for  the  latter  the  teacher  has  not  only  to  know 
the  curatives  or  correotivn,  but  the  soul  food  that 
will  build  up  the  habit  of  virtue,  and  subdue  the  habit 
of  vice.  That  food  is  to  be  met  with  in  its  most 
condensed  form  in  the  Moral  Law.  The  Ten  Com- 
mandments are  the  eternal  verities  on  which  every 
sound  modem  ethical  system  is  built,  developed  and 
sublimated,  as  they  may  be,  by  the  precepts  of  the 
Sermon  on  the  Mount,  the  correctives  or  petitions  of 
the  Lord's  Prayer  and  the  sympathies  of  the  Bea- 
titudes.   As  such,  they  are  the  axioms  of  'he  science 


PREFACE.  5 

of  conduct,  and  to  train  a  child  by  active  processes 
in  school-work  to  know  them  as  active  principles 
until  they  become  intuitive  in  their  action,  is  char- 
acter building  in  its  moat  direct  and  tangible  form. 
The  Manual  may  or  may  not  be  used  by  the  pupil, 
but  it  certainly  ought  to  bo  utilized  by  the  teacher.' 
The  idea  of  arranging  a  school  programme  including 
Moral  Drill  as  a  regular  exercise  is  no  new  one,  and 
yet  the  plan  of  this  Manual  has  been  approved  of  as 
something  new.    To  train  the  pupil  to  refer  the  vir- 
tues and  the  vices  of  humanity,  the  good  habits  and 
the  bad  habits  of  everyday  life,  back  to  the  first  prin- 
ciples of  morality  cannot  but  be  a  great  gain  to  the 
discipline  of  any  school ;  and  a  text-book  on  Moral 
Training,  written  on  the  plan  of  the  class-work  that 
has  for  its  object  the  mental  drill  of  the  pupil,  can 
hardly  fail  to  be  acceptable  to  our  teachers  and 
school  authorities.    The  lessons  and  questions  in  the 
Manual  are  arranged,  as  far  as  possible,  on  the  in- 
ductive method  of  teaching ;  the  historical  knowl- 
edge acquired  by  the  child  during  its  school  course 
being  specially  utilized  for  iUustrative  purposes.    In 
the  same  way,  the  incidents  of  school   life  and 
maturer  experiences  are  made  use  of,  in  order  that 
the  teaching  based  on  such  a  text-book  maybe  prac- 
tical and  directly  beneficial  in  its  results.    Written 
in  a  spirit  void  of  ofifence,  it  is  respectfully  submitted 
to  all  who  are  anxious  to  help  on  the  work  of  pro- 
riding  a  sound  moral  training  in  our  schools,  along- 
side of  a  sound  physical  and  mental  training.

THE   FIRST  COMMANDMENT. 

(its  christian  fulfilment.) 

THOU  SHALT  WORSHIP  THB  LORD  THY 
GOD  AND  HIM  ONLY  SHALT  THOU  SERVE. 

Obedience  is  a  habit,-  disobedience  is  an  act, 
and  immorality  is  the  continuance  of  acts  of  dis-' 


THE  TBW  COMMANDMENTS.  M 

Obedience,  the  forgetting  to  worahip  and  serve 
God  in  our  everyday  walk  and  conversation. 

anS^«f^  PRINCIPLE:  The  conscious 
and  persistent  neglect  of  any  natural  law  of 
body,  mind,  or  soul,  is  the  breaking  of  the  First 
Commandment. 

The  Christian  society  which  Christ  founded 
was  a  kingdom  of  morals,  a  kingdom  of  heaven 
on  earth,  a  patriarchy  of  which  Our  Father  in 
heaven  is  the  ruler.    An  act  of  impiety  is  a  crime 
n  this  kingdom,  and  infidelity  to  its  Lawgiver 
the  meanest  of  vices.    Who  would  be  unfaiUiful 
to.  or  bring  disgrace  upon,  an  earthly  parent  and 
not  consider  his  act  a  meanness  ?    Who  would  be 
guilty  of  infidelity  towards  the  King  of  Kings, 
the  Ruler  of  the  Kingdom  of  Heaven,  as  definfd 
by  Christ,  and  not  consider  it  a  greater,  the  great- 
est,  meanness.  »        6  «"«^ 

The  relationship  between  God  and  man  in  this 
kingdom  of  morals,  is  further  emphasized  by  the 
precept    ..Your  Father  which   seeth    in   ^cret 
knoweth  what  things  ye  have  need  of."    Love 
caBteth  out  fear,-the  fear  of  the  omniscience 
which  keeps  on  record  our  virtues  and  vices,  our 
good  habits  and  our  bad.    Christ's  fullest  develop- 
inent  or  fulfilment  of  the  First  Commandment  i^ 
therefore,  to  be  found  in  the  protecting  prayer  of 
any  one  tempted  to  do  a  wrong  thing.    "Thou 
God  seest  me.''  *

Idol  worship  is  an  invention  of  man  in  an  unde- 
veloped or  retrograde  moral  condition  of  life.    The 
history  of  such  an  invention  has  its  three  sta-  oS, 
first  the  recognition  of  a  certain  phenomenon, 
physical,  mental  or  moral ;  second,  its  personifica-

form  or  figure  of  speech  as  a  reality.    The  Pelas-

THE  THIRD  COMMANDMENT. 
(its  mosaic  exuxciatiox.) 


THOU  SHALT  NOT  TAKE  THE  NAME  OF 
THE  LORD  THY  GOD  IN  VAIN,  FOR  THE 
LORD  WILL  NOT  HOLD  HIM  GUILTLESS 
THAT  TAKETH  HIS  NAME  IN  VAIN. 

The  legislation  of  Moses  had  for  its  foundation 
the  inculcation  of  a  reverential  awe  for  the  Supreme 
Being.  Idolatry,  idol-worship,  and  blasphemy 
were  all  punishable  by  death.  "  The  congregation 
shall  certainly  stone  him  who  blasphemeth  the 
name  of  the  Lord." 

Tlie  taking  of  an  oath  is  to  be  distinguished 
from  the  uttering  of  an  oath.  When  made  with 
unmixed  solemnity,  a  vow  or  a  promise  made  in 
(Tod  s  name  is  not  a  wrong.  «  Thou  shalt  fear 
the  Lord  thy  God  and  serve  him  and  shalt  swear 
by  his  name." 

The  uttering  of  the  form  of  an  oath  in  ordinary 
speech,  when  there  is  no  necessity  for  such,  is 
blasphemy,  and  such  blasphemy  has  always  been 


THE  TEN-  C0MMAKDMEXT8.  23 

looked  upon  as  the  most  unnatural  of  vices. 
"  Thou  Shalt  swear  only  in  truth,  in  judgment 
and  in  righteousness/' 

Hints.  After  reading  the  story  of  the  blasphem- 
ing son  of  the  Israelitish  woman,  a  lesson  may  be 
given  on  the  manner  of  taking  the  oath  in  a  court 
of  justice.  The  blasphemy  of  swearing  falsely  is  a 
breach  of  the  third  commandment :  perjury  is  an  ag- 
gravated breach  of  the  ninth  as  well.  «  Ye  shall 
not  swear  by  my  name  falsely." 

Questions.    1.  Give  the  meaning  and  derivation  of  the 
word  blasphemy,  perjury  and  legislation.     2.  Where  is 
the  story  of  the  son  of  the  Israelitish  woman  to  be  found  ? 
3.  W)  at  was  the  oflfence  of  the  prophet  of  Bethel?    4 
Nam     ome  of  the  ways  in  which  perjury  can  be  commit^

6.  Explain  the  expression  "his  word  is  as  good  as  his 
bond."    7.  Narrate  the  story  of  Jonathan  and  the  honey- 
comb.    8.  Give  examples  of  the  oath  of  friendship,  the 
oath  of  covenant-making  and  a  national  oath.    9   Under 
what  circumstances  did  Nehemiah  put  the  priests  under  an 
oath?    10.  Give  two  historical  examples  of  the  eflFects  of 
a  rash  vow. 

REVEREirCE.    PROFANITY. 

Even  when  no  irreverence  is  intended,  there  is 
no  excuse  for  profanity.  As  a  defilement  of  the 
gift  of  speech  the  cursing  habit  is  gross  vulgarity ; 
and  as  a  mark  of  disrespect  to  a  fundamental  prin' 
ciple  of  the  moral  law  it  is,  like  idol-worship,  an 
insult  to  God.  "  Neither  shalt  thou  profane  the 
name  of  thy  God  ;  I  am  the  Lord.

ctizen  than  a  day  of  rest ;  and  yet  the  observance 
of  oue  day  in  seven  as  a  day  of  restful  recuper- 
ation  for  the  body,  as  n-el!  as  for  the  mind  and 
soul,  lias  not  been  without  its  abuses  in  later  times. 
The  institution  of  the  Sabbath  had  for  its  object 
the  providing  for  man  a  day  of  rest,  a  season 
wlierein  time  might  be  taken  to  provide  a  correc- 
tive for  any  neglect  of  our  physical,  mental  and 
moral  health,  during  the  week.    Christ  by  his  ex- 
ample shows  that  at  least  there  must  be  no  attempt 
made  to  proscribe  the  works  of  necessity  and  mercy 
on  the  Sabbath  day. 

Attendance  at  divine  worship  has  always  been 
a  prominent  feature  of  the  Sabbath  day.  «  Thou 
Shalt  keep  the  Sabbath  day  to  sanctify  it,"  and 
the  pei-son  who  disobeys  this  commandment  as- 
sumes a  like  responsibility  with  those  who  break 
any  other  of  God's  laws. 

Hints.  After  reading  the  account  of  Christ  and 
his  disciples  finding  themselveg  in  the  com  fields  on 
the  Sabbath  day,  a  lesson  may  be  given  on  the  change 
of  day  from  the  seventh  to  the  first  day  of  the  week 
and  the  scene  on  the  day  of  Pentecost  when  the 
change  seems  to  have  been  inaugurated.  Justin 
Martyr  has  described  the  simple  way  in  which  the 
early  Christians  observed  the  Sabbath  by  meeting 
together  on  the  first  day  of  the  week.

VENERATION.    SCOFFERY. 

Veneration  is  the  habit  of  being  reverent  in  the 
prwence  of  sacred  things.  The  food  of  the  soul  is 
righteousness  and  the  acquiring  of  such  moral 
nourishment  can  only  be  rightly  accomplished  by 
acts  of  reverence.  Thus  the  reading  of  the  Bible, 
the  source  of  this  soul-food,  should  never  be  under- 
taken  ma  flippant  way  either  on  the  Sabbath  or 
on  a  week  day  Scoffing  at  others  engaged  in  acts 
of  worship  IS  the  most  contemptible  of  vices.

mandment,  and  the  promise  attached  to  it.  Pieta» 
parentOms  or  obedience  to  parents  has  been  an  im- 
portant first  principle  of  morality  in  the  history 
of  all  nations. 

The  three  relationships  in  life,  namely,  witJ) 
superiors,  inferiors  and  equals,  are  enjoined  in  these 
three  quotations:  (1)  «'Thou  shalt  not  curee  the 
ruler  of  thy  people."  (2)  "  Thou  shalt  not  oppress 
a  stranger."  (3)  « Thou  shalt  not  wrest  the 
judgment  of  thy  poor." 

HiKTS.  A  lesson  on  the  fuller  meanings  of  the 
term  obedience,  illustrated  by  the  story  of  the  Gar- 
den of  Eden.    The  relationship  between  children 
and  parents  is  a  fixed  principle  which  no  manner  of 
living  in  any  community  can  change,— the  parents 
having  to  protect  and  control,  the  children  to  obey 
and  honour.     The  same  relationship  should  be  found 
in  school  between  teacher  and  pupils,  where  the 
former  is  in  loco  parentis.    The  breaking  of  a  school 
law  or  regulation  may  or  may  not  be  a  breaking  of 
God's  law.     Moral  precepts  are  eternal,  and  teacher 
and  pupil  are  alike  subject  to  them.    Bespectforall 
laws,  moreover,  makes  duty  an  instinct.    The  fifth 
commandment  says  to  parent  and  child,  to  teacher 
and  pupil,  to  everybody,  young  or  old,  «Do  your 
dttty.'»

The  sequel  to  hatred  is  the  desire  to  do  injury 
just  as  the  sequel  to  receiving  an  injuiy  is  often 
the  desire  for  revenge.  The  sixth  commandment 
IS  thus  a  logical  sequence  to  the  fifth. 

"  7^080  sheddeth  man's  blood  by  man  shall  his 
blood  be  shed,"  emphasizes  the  sacredness  of 
human  hfe  under  the  Mosaic  dispensation  as  in 
our  own  day.  Even  the  absence  of  premeditation, 
as  in  the  case  of  manslaughter,  induced  but  slender

FORGIVINGKESS.    RETALUTION. 

In  the  promoting  of  la^  and  order  there  is  no

TEMPERAHCE.    IirTEMPERANCE. 

Temperance  is  the  restraining  virtue  of  a  good 
habit ;  intemperance  is  an  act  of  injustice  to  the 
virtue*  of  ourselves  or  others.  There  is  an  intern, 
perance  of  body,  of  mind,  and  of  soul,  each  per- 
nicious to  the  whole  being  and  involving  a  breach 
of  the  sixth  commandment.

UHBANITT.    PUGNACITY. 

The  golden  rule  embodies  the  law  of  politeness. 
The  practice  of  urbanity  trains  one  to  give  a 
denial  without  giving  an  offence.  While  the 
quarrelsome  person  is  always  putting  his  own 
personality  in  the  place  of  the  law,  the  tone  gentle- 
mn  has  the  art  of  showing  that  the  law  is  superior 
ahke  to  him  and  his  opponent.  It  is  foUy  to 
blame  any  natural  law :  it  is  equivalent  to  blaming 
God,  the  Maker  of  the  law.

circumstances  is  the  soldier  in  active  warfare  guilty

THE  SIXTH  COMMANDMENT. 

(ITS  CHRISTIAN  FULFILMENT.) 


YE  HAVE  HEARD  THAT  IT  WAS  SAID  BY 
THEM  OP  OLD  TIME,  THOU  SHALT  NOT 
KILL;  AND  WHOSOEVER  SHALL  KILL 
SHALL  BE  IN  DANGER  OF  THE  JUDGMENT : 
BUT  I  SAY  UNTO  YOU,  WHOSOEVER  IS 
ANGRY  WITH  HIS  BROTHER  WITHOUT  A 
CAUSE  SHALL  BE  IN  DANGER  OP  THE 
JUDGMENT. 

According  to  these  words,  the  cause  of  murder 
is  equal  to  its  effect  if  the  grade  of  offence  is  to  be 
measured  by  the  degree  of  punishment.  Tiie 
fundamental  principle  of  our  judicial  systems  is  to 
be  found  in  the  proposition  **  With  what  measure 
ye  mete  it  shall  be  measured  to  you  again  "  and 
Christ's  development  of  the  sixth  commandment 
is  even  more  terrible  in  its  emphasis,  when  he  says 
that  to  call  one's  neighbour  a  fool  is  to  be  in 
danger  of  the  most  severe  punishment  imaginable. 

There  is  a  rule  of  conduct,  however,  which  pro- 
vides a  way  of  escape  from  the  awful  punishment 
attached  to  the  passions  that  lead  to  murder.    *'  If 


THE  TEN  COMMAlfDMEKTS.  49 

thou  bring  thy  gift  to  the  altar,  and  there  remem- 
berest  that  thy  brother  hath  ought  against  thee ; 
leave  there  thy  gift  before  the  altar  and  go  thy 
way;  first  be  reconciled  to  thy  brother,  and  then 
come  and  offer  thy  gift."  The  partaking  of  the 
sacrament,  or  the  praying  for  forgiveness,  while  a 
deadly  hatred  of  our  neighbour  is  being  cherished 
in  our  heart,  is  an  act  of  gross  hypocrisy,— an  act 
of  meanness  towards  God  as  heinous  as  murder. 

Hints.  After  reading  the  story  of  Christ's  trial, 
the  teacher  may  illustrate,  while  he  is  in  the  way, 
the  passage  "  Agree  with  thine  adversary"  by  some 
case  of  false  imprisonment  or  judicial  murder  referred 
to  in  history.    The  neglect  to  plead  onr  innocence  to 
screen  a  malefactor  is  a  false  principle,  as  much  as  is 
the  tu  guoque  argument  false  logic.    The  use  of 
opprobrious  terms  and  nicknames  is  a  mean  and 
hateful  practice,  that  arouses  in  others  a  murderous 
passion.    "  Whosoever  shall  say  to  his  brother, 
Raca,  shall  be  in  danger  of  the  council."    Mun- 
kacsy's  picture  of  Christ  before  Pilate. 

Questions.  1.  What  is  the  meaning  of  the  word  Raca  f 
2.  Was  Paul  to  be  justified  in  calling  the  head  of  the 
Sanhedrin  "  a  whited  sepulchre  "  ?  8.  Give  some  of  the 
famous  nioknames  that  have  come  down  to  us  from  his- 
tory. 4.  Was  the  originating  of  them  justifiable?  5.  Give 
an  example  of  a  word  which  in  itself  was  capable  of  arous- 
ing  the  people  of  England  at  one  time  to  the  most  riotous 
of  conduct.  6.  How  did  King  David  make  return  to  the 
reviling  of  Shimoi  ?  7.  Was  Pilate  guilty  of  Christ's  mur- 
der  ?  8.  What  nickname  did  he  apply  to  our  Saviour  and 
what  effect  had  it  upon  the  Jews?  9.  What  two  com-

PHILANTHROPy.    CRUEL-MIirDEDHESS. 

Christian  morality  answers  Cain's  queiy,  «Am 
I  my  brother's  keeper?"  in  the  positive.  The 
dictetes  of  love  counsel  us  to  "  Look  not  eveiy  mau 
on  his  own  things,  but  every  man  also  on  the 
thmgs  of  others,"  as  it  classifies  him  who  "  hateth 
his  brother  as  a  murderer."  Philanthropy  is  the 
highest  duty  of  benevolence.  "If  a  man  say  I 
love  God  and  hateth  his  brother,  he  is  a  liar. "

THE  SEVENTH  COMMANDMENT. 

(its  mosaic  enunciation.) 


THOU  SHALT  NOT  COMMIT  ADULTERY. 

The  practice  of  one  hutband  having  but  one  wife, 
though  not  always  observed  in  Bible  times,  is  rec- 
ognized as  an  element  of  the  higher  civilization. 
Legalized  marriage  makes  society  possible.  •'  Who- 
osoeverputteth  away  his  wife  let  him  give  her  a 
writing  of  divorcement."  In  further  emphasizing 
the  sacredness  of  the  marriage  tie  the  Old  Testa- 
ment writings  enjoin  chastity  of  conduct  in  our- 
selves and  the  preservation  of  it  in  others.  "  Re- 
more  thy  way  far  from  any  unchastity." 

Hum :  A  lesson  may  be  given  on  the  ceremony 
of  J,  Jewish  wedding,  with  reference  to  Rebekah, 
Euth,  and  Esther.  The  elevation  of  woman  in  the

the  marriage  relationships  in  uncivilized  life.

Bible  who  were  poesessed  of  some  distingaishing  virtue. 
2.  Make  a  list  of  women  mentioned  in  the  Bible  who  were

MODESTY.    LEWDHESS. 

Immodesty  of  conduct  has  no  warrant  in  any 
condition  of  human  life.    The  fashions  of  no  age 
have  been  able  to  stamp  it  even  as  the  virtue  of 
necessity.    Modesty  is  a  law  of  human  nature  in

LET  YOUR  LIGHT  SO  SHINE  BEFORE  MEN 
THAT  THEY  MAY  SEE  YOUR  GOOD  WORKS 
AND  GLORIFY  YOUR  FATHER  WHICH  IS 
IN  HEAVEN. 

The  Christian  morality  has  in  it  no  element  of 
the  unfruitful  works  of  darkness.  The  conduct  of 
the  discreet  Christian  is  as  transparent  as  the  fii-st 
principles  which  guide  him.  Even  Christ  was 
angry  at  hypocrisy.  "  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  hypocrites:  for  ye  are  like  unto  whited 
sepulchres."

1.  A  first  principle  is  an  undeniable  truth  from  which 
other  truths  or  principles  are  deduced.    The  axioms  and 
postulates  are  the  first  principles  of  geometry.    All  foods 
difficult  of  digestion  should  be  taken  in  moderation.    The 
memory  should  not  be  clogged  with  useless  knowledge.    8. 
A  bad  habit  is  a  practice  or  condition  of  life  which  is  not 
conducive  to  the  well-being  of  the  person  who  possesses  It. 
Walking  in  an  ungainly  way  is  a  bad  habit  of  body. 
Thought-wandering  is  a  bad  habit  of  the  mind.    Untruth- 
fulness is  a  bad  habit  of  the  soul.    All  bad  habits  of  the 
soul  are  forbidden  by  the  precepts  of  the  Moral  Law,  and 
whenever  bad  habits  of  body  and  mind  are  injurious  to  the 
soul,  they  also  are  strictly  forbidden  by  the  same  law.    8. 
The  cardinal  virtues  are  those  which  include  the  other  vir- 
tues.   They  are  Benevolence,  Justice,  Truth,  Purity,  and 
Order.    The  first  has  its  warrant  in  the  fifth  command- 
ment. Justice  in  the  sixth  and  eighth,  Truth  in  the  ninth. 
Purity  in  the  seventh  and  tenth,  and  Order  in  them  all. 
4.  Character  building  is  the  careful  training  or  developing 
of  the  whole  being  by  the  right  kind  of  influences  from 
within  and  without.    5.  By  acquiring  the  habit  of  refer- 
ring the  actions  of  ourselves  and  others  back  to  them  for 
justification  or  condemnation.    6.  The  Moral  Law  was  in- 
tended for  all  people ;  while  the  other  two  divisions  re- 
ferred specially  to  the  religious  forms  and  ceremonies  and

The  first  four  commandments  refer  to  our  duty  towards 
God,  the  remaining  six  to  our  duty  towards  our  neigh- 
bours, and  hence  it  has  beea  thought  that  there  were  four 
commandments  on  the  one  table  of  the  law,  and  six  on  the 
other.    9.  Summary  comes  from  L.  gumma,  a  sum ;  and 
means  an  epitome,  compend,  or  short  sketch.    Funda- 
mental comes  from  L.  fundamentum,  a  foundation  ;  and 
means  what  lies  at  the  root  of  a  matter.    Decalogue  comes 
from  the  Greek  deka,  ten,  and  logos,  a  discourse  ;  and  means 
the  ten  sayings  of  the  moral  law.    Promulgation  comes 
from  L.  promulgatio,  a  declaration ;  and  means  the  an- 
nouncement   or    setting    forth.      Cardinal   comes    from 
L.  cardo,  a  hinge ;  and  means  fundamental  or  that  on 
which  other  truths  hinge.   10.  (Exodus  xx.  3,  and  Deut.  v.  7.)
